Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Need some. Do you know of anyone who has them in stock? Thanks --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Spade Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Keep watching the usual suspects, BPI, Natchez, Brownells, Precision Reloading, Recobs target shop, seems like someone gets them in about every week or so. Got 5k cheddites from BPI last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I've been seeing Fed 209A's for sale. I's told that they are the same size as 209's but somewhat "hotter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Action Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Midway has had Federal 209s several times in the last few weeks. Like everywhere, they are available for a day or so then sell out. Keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 At this time I have enough primers to probably make it a year but as one who panics and has seen how difficult it s to come across the pistol primers I want I have recently bought some loaded shotshells at $8.22 a box. They give me piece of mind that I will have something to shoot. They travel at 1145fps and although I never chromed mine I really do not notice a difference. Just saying you might want to get a few boxes of loaded to help tide you over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Several suppliers have had Cheddite 209 primers in stock the last few months. They are a French manufactured primer and I've been using them the last few years. They are great primers. I just did an internet search for Cheddite primers for sale. A couple of websites popped up, but none that I have done business with. With the recent report of fake websites, I would be leery of ordering from someone I don't know. You, however, may recognize a business you know on this search. I found a good supply at Sportsman's Warehouse a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks for all the information & thanks for the heads-up Captain. Looks like I'll give the Federals a try! --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hills Barb Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We are waiting on the arrival of them at our local gun shop. The owner informed us that the price of this shipment will be higher and the one after that even higher. They will be the Cheddites and he also told us that they will likely be about the only brand we'll be seeing for a while. I guess time will tell.

It cost him $120 after shipping and HAZMAT was added. Cheddites are a better deal if you can find them. They are often listed at $56/1,000.

JJ “Reb” Wainwright 110206 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I see a lot of discussion (mostly uncertainty or lack of familiarity) on Cheddite primers. Between my trap and sporting clays shooting (pre-CAS) and now with my CAS addiction, I’ve popped over 150,000 cheddite 209 primers. If the shelves were full of every option, I would still choose them. Never a problem and always more economical. Sure, they are a little tight (hardly noticeable) in the primer pockets initially but since I never load any other brand, that has not been a problem for me. If you find them available, I wouldn’t think twice about it. Hope this helps if there was any doubt. Good luck on the hunt everyone! JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezcal Charlie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I was able to pick up federal primers as well as Hodgdon and Clays powder. Go to Midway and click the notify me button and they’ll email you when something comes into stock. You just have to be quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Bought 5000 Cheddite from BPI earlier this month, with hazmat & shipping it worked out to $54/1000. I've used primed Cheddite hulls for years and they always go bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European primers are generally a little larger than their U.S. counterparts and will stretch the primer pockets of shells such as the Winchester AA and Remington STS and if you switch back to American primers they can be loose or even fall out. American primers in European shells are often loose. The new Cheddites in the pink and blue box are pretty much the same size as a Winchester 209. I have been using the Cheddites as I picked up 5,000 at Sportsman's Warehouse a month ago and my supply of Winchesters is getting low. They actually fit the Remington STS better than the Winchester 209 primer as Remington primer pockets are a little shorter than the AA. The Cheddite diamter is the same as a Winchester 209 but it is .005 shorter so it works great in the STS. For my trap loads I use only STS or AA. For my CAS loads I use Remington Gun Clubs for smokeless and black. I do run them through a super sizer to get the steel rim fully back to factory size and only load them once and toss them. Come out of my doubles slicker than snot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, 209A is generally understood to be a bit hotter than the 209 it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying you might want to get a few boxes of loaded to help tide you over. 1145 fps at what shot weight? Velocity alone is not a complete indicator. I am going to guess at 1 oz, while many shoot 3/4 or 7/8. Your find sounds good though, based on what I have seen in shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
